The Big Red One

Grizzled sergeant, Marvin, naturally, leads a unit of green recruits through the horrors of WWII. Curiously muted, I was expecting Peckinpah (I prefer Cross Of Iron-like action), but worthy anti war film from Sam Fuller who served with the unit himself.A 'reconstruction' version of the film made its way onto DVD in 2005 and has some 44 minutes of restored footage.
